Leonardo DiCaprio’s Latest Insta Post on Chennai’s Water Crisis
Environmentalist, Leonardo DiCaprio on Tuesday posted a heart touching message on Instagram. He pointed out the acute water crisis problem of Chennai, the capital of the state of Tamil Nadu.
He quoted, “Only rain can save Chennai from this situation. The acute water shortage has forced the city to scramble for urgent solutions and residents have to stand in line for hours to get water from government tanks. Officials in the city continue to try and find alternative sources of water - but the community continues to pray for rain.”
As per the latest report, all the four main reservoirs of the city have completely dried. Hotels have temporarily shut down. House taps have gone dry. Malls have closed their bathrooms. People don’t have water to drink or bathe. It is evident that today’s draught ridden Chennai was facing severe floods four years back.
This year’s weak monsoon has caused havoc in many parts of the country. As is claimed by various organizations that Chennai’s disaster is man-made and it would follow to other metropolitan cities in the coming years.
Nonetheless, in such extreme situation also, politics and politicians are not far behind in logical arguments.
